THINGS I WON ~

Finally!!  Now that I actually have a camera that will take a decent picture, I want to share with you two WONDERFUL give aways that I was fortunate enough to win!!!

Jane at Blondies Journals had a give away and I won!!  Jane was one of the first to visit my tiny little blog and become a follower which led me back to hers.  She is so wonderful and sweet and funny!  I adore her and it just made it all the more special when I won her give away!  When it arrived in the mail, it was supposed to be adorable copper cookie cutters!  But when the box arrived, it was like Christmas for me!!!  She had added all kinds of wonderful gifts....

As you can see.....Stuff to make you smell good and feel good and LOOK good...



LOVE this dish with the angels....and such a sweet note from Jane...


Look at all these goodies!!!  A french manicure set, chocolates, stationary, precious gift bags...



Make-up brushes....LOVE these....I need all the help I can get...I ain't even lyin'


And this liitle book!  POSITIVE Quotations!!  I NEED this too....







Apple Orchard Potpourri!!  YUMMY!

She also sent a magazine which I have looked at over and over again...AND a brow set, which I have also been using!



Next I won this gorgeous banner from Mary Jane at The Beehive Cottage.  It was a lucky month for me :)

And she also enclosed these  beautiful tags which I tied onto cloches and tucked in greenery....
I will use them again next year....and the next!





This is the banner...I had it in my kitchen window during the holidays....so pretty....





Thank you SO MUCH Maryjane....



Please forgive me for taking so long to post my wonderful wins!  I have had ISSUES!  Hopefully, everything is worked out now....

Thank you SO MUCH Janie and Maryjane for your kindness and thoughtfulness....

It meant more to me than you will ever know....

Be sure and visit their blogs, you will be glad you did...

Stay warm my friends....

    I am glad that you liked everything as much as I did packing it up. I had a blast picking things out that I thought you would love. Things for YOU, not your home. We gals need that once in awhile!!

    Hope your New Year has started off good. The new camera is a good sign!! :-)

    xoxo

  23. Hi Lou Cinda- Thanks for stopping by my blog and the nice comments. I am not sure if you read my profile, but I just LOVE hydrangeas, so I was excited to see your blog. I am in need of a new camera myself. Mine has a duct taped battery door and when I press the
    "on" button I have to manually assist the shutter to open with my fingers. I am saving for a new one. The banner you received looked so pretty - you could keep it up by making one with old valentines. What a fun gift box to recieve. I joined your site too. Have a nice weekend - Diane
